Reminiscent of a
time when inkwells
held secrets of
auspicious authors
when they dipped
their quills
inside and with
a flourish of
script containing
dots and crosses
left their legacy
to span time
connecting their
hearts and souls to
ours

Inkwell
An inkwell is a small jar or container, often made of glass, porcelain, silver, brass, or pewter, used for holding ink in a place convenient for the person who is writing. The artist or writer dips the brush, quill, or dip pen into the inkwell as needed or uses the inkwell as the source for filling the reservoir of a fountain pen
